Magic between us || Fillie

More Than Words

Will walks into El's room without knocking to find Mike and El standing in the middle of it, smiling widely, their foreheads touching, their eyes seemingly memorizing every inch of each-other's faces. They are in their own little world just drinking each other in.

Will felt like he was invading their privacy big time, so he slowly started walking back out, but he accidentally kicked the door, making the very startled couple jump apart, both looking towards him, blushing like crazy.

'I'm so sorry!' Will exclaimed, 'I just came to tell Mike that he can use the bathroom, it's free now.'

'Oh! Alright then...' Mike said scratching the back of his head, 'I'll be right out'.

'Yeah, okay...um...I'll just go now.' Will replied awkwardly and exited the room as fast as he could.

'CUT!'

Millie's POV

'Alright, Noah, go take a seat, we'll do this scene once more right after we finish this next one. Mileven, don't move, we're continuing the scene in just a minute! Stay in character, please, let's not waste precious time.' Shawn said quickly and went on to give a few more orders to the crew members while Finn and I just stood next to each other looking towards the door Noah just walked out of.

In the back of my mind I did register Noah saying 'Well, this scene wasn't that much fun for me as it was for you two', but I couldn't really focus on that because of what Shawn just said.

Even though Shawn has called us 'Mileven' a million times before, as if we were just one entity while we were on set, it still, to this day, brought out the blush on my cheeks. Everybody always found it cute, hell, even I used to, but now...it's just downright embarrassing.

This whole day has been so difficult. I can't bear to even look at Finn when we're not in character, I mean for god's sake, I just spent my whole break sitting in front of the fridge just staring at it, simply because I was afraid of spending time alone with him. And that's not only today; it's been like that since shooting restarted two weeks ago. The difference being that today has been a 'shooting-Mileven-scenes' day, so it was extra hard for me to control myself.

My mind kept going back to the day I woke up to find thousands of messages and mentions on Instagram several months ago; the day everything changed for me.

The moment I saw my phone that morning, I knew something big had happened. And when I finally plucked up the courage to open those notifications, it felt like my whole world came crashing down. I could not believe my eyes and for the longest time I was convinced that it was an edit, I mean it had to be. There was no way Noah could be that stu-

'Alright, let's go. Everyone ready?'

My thoughts were interrupted by Shawn's assertive voice and I instantly went into my safe space - El's mind.

'And ACTION!'

The moment the doors closed again, Mike turned around closing the distance between him and El and wrapped his arms around her tightly. She reciprocated right away, leaning her head on his chest.

'Ugh, that was so embarrassing!' El mumbled into Mike's hoodie.

'I know, but hey, at least it wasn't Mrs. Byers, right?' Mike replies jokingly, kissing the top of El's head.

'Yeah, that would've been worse, especially because the door was closed.' El said looking up at Mike.

Mike furrowed his eyebrows a little bit 'Three inches rule still on?' he asked, carefully watching El's reaction, not wanting to ruin her mood right before bed.
